Something weird in nestbox

[noisyhummingbird]

My six girls are 29 weeks old. Five of the six are laying regularly. One of the Buckeyes only lays about every 3-4 days.

This morning I found five lovely eggs in the nest box ... and this! Should I be worried?

Uh, is that not just chicken poop?

What is it your worried about more specifically here? How big is this?

I've never seen anything like that from my girls, and particularly not in the nest box. There has been some poop that's partially white, but this really looks alien in my very short experience.

no, that's just a dropping.

So I guess she just needs better manners and not an emergency trip to the vet?

Looks like a poop wad to me. https://chat.allotment-garden.org/index.php?topic=17568.0 page with pics of all kinds of "normal" poop.

Can OP put a coin next to it? It looks absolutely fine to me.

It is fine. Actually, it is pretty healthy looking one, too.

Hey, there was an old guy that I knew who kept chickens and one day he asked me 'Do you know what the white stuff is in the chicken ****?' So, I think he is about to tell me something interesting that I didn't know. So, I say no, what? He looks at me with a little smirk and replies, "Well son, that is chicken **** too"
